Spillman, Robert
Five Songs
21st Century (2019). Set in 5 movements, each
movement gives the performer wide opportunity to
express picturesque movement titles:
- Lament - an easy-going pace where the soloist
and pianist trade motion and focus. with lots of
movement in the piano
- Flight - a moderate up-tempo 2/4 over 6/8
feel movement with a gliss element that adds
sparkle.
- Night Without Stars - a calm movement where
the soloist floats over a shimmering piano
accompaniment.
- Old Joy - 4/4 Allegro movement with an active
accompaniment supporting soaring solo lines.
- Yes/No - a quick 3 with plenty of excitement
in both parts.
Robert Spillman is best known in the low brass
community for his trio of compositions dating from
the 1960's: the Bass Trombone Concerto (1962),
Four Greek Preludes (1969), and Two Songs for Tuba
(1963). This new work demonstrates the composer's
ongoing gift and skill nearly 60 years after his
first big hit.
